But I’m just bursting to say that my best travel buddy and I are going to Japan next year in the spring!

I finally got an email back from a job that I’d really really like.

Buzzfeed is reporting that another national brand has hired one of those male Instagram youths to be the face of a campaign. He’ll be spokes modelling for a new mascara. He’s named Manny Gutierrez and I can see why they chose his for mascara because the boy does LASHES with his make-up looks.
